As we wrap up our summer events and approach Labor Day and the fall season, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the county staff and my constituents in the community who volunteered their time to coordinate all of the wonderful summer events in the community. These events include OC Parks' Summer Concert Series, which featured live music performances in local parks; the Sunset Cinema Series, providing outdoor movie nights for all ages; National Night Out events, which promoted neighborhood safety and community engagement across the district; and both the Taste of Lake Forest and Taste of Yorba Linda, which highlighted local food and businesses. Looking forward to the fall season, I want to wish everyone in Orange County a wonderful and safe Labor Day Weekend! |

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS REJECT WAGNER AND NGUYEN'S COMMON-SENSE PLAN TO RESOLVE DOJ LAWSUIT SANTA ANA, CA – In a 3-2 vote, the Orange County Board of Supervisors rejected a resolution cooperating with the Department of Justice to investigate the integrity of Orange County’s voter registration files. With this rejection, the Orange County Registrar of Voters will continue an expensive lawsuit to avoid disclosing potential voter fraud to the federal government. The item was co-sponsored by Supervisor Don Wagner and Supervisor Janet Nguyen. The supervisors stated that it’s essential to have clean voter rolls for elections. “I’m disappointed that a majority of my colleagues have refused to join Supervisor Nguyen and me in this common-sense effort to avoid a protracted legal battle with the federal government. Our Registrar of Voters defended his actions by likening it to anyone in the public walking in off the street and demanding information,” said Supervisor Don Wagner. “But this is hardly the case. It is the federal government demanding information to comply with perfectly reasonable and constitutional rules that only our citizens get to vote in our elections. California law may not prize election integrity, but Orange County should.” Supervisor Wagner has consistently argued for cleaning up Orange County’s voter rolls. He believes that everyone eligible to vote should be allowed to do so and nobody ineligible to vote can do so. The federal lawsuit seeks the same thing and should not be frustrated by our Registrar of Voters. “If Orange County has nothing to hide,” added Supervisor Wagner, “it should not litigate this case like it has something to hide.” |

241/91 EXPRESS CONNECTOR PROJECT |
241/91 EXPRESS CONNECTOR PROJECT |
 |
The Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency’s Board of Directors recently approved the necessary agreements to move forward with the 241/91 Express Connector project. Once completed, this $524 million project will allow drivers traveling on the 241 Toll Road to seamlessly connect directly into the 91 Express Lanes. As Chairman of the 241/91 Express Connector Ad Hoc Committee, I am thrilled to see this critical project move forward, improving connectivity and commute times for the traveling public. Construction is expected to commence in 2026. The project’s completion date is estimated for 2029. The 241/91 Express Connector project offers numerous benefits to commuters and the environment: - Provides a new route choice
- Shortens queues on 241 Toll Road
- Reduces weaving and merging between the 241 and 91 corridors, enhancing traffic operations
- Travel time savings through the 241/91 corridor, including travel on the 91 general purpose lanes, based on date, time and direction of travel
- Reduces carbon emissions, fuel consumption, and improves air quality
- Improves regional mobility

I participated in the Orange County Business Council’s annual Legislative Day discussion panel, where I joined other federal, state, and local elected officials to discuss various issues facing Orange County’s business community, including taxation, economic development, infrastructure, the workforce, and housing. It’s always a pleasure to be a part of OCBC’s events and have an opportunity to speak with Orange County’s business community on the issues that matter to them. |
